The way I see it, every race needs to have a heavy anti infantry and anti vehicle weapon (AI and AV) as well as a light AV option. Currently the range of heavy weaponry is just pitiful. The heavy frame suits have been all but ignored since the beginning of the beta aside from being nerfed to Timbuktu and back.
I miss the days when heavies were feared and respected. Regardless. In all this time waiting I came up with ideas of weapons that i would love to see come into existence in some form.
Minmatar
AI- HMG
AV- Would love to see some kind of heavy mortar or super heavy shoulder mounted cannon
Amarr
AI- A gatling laser doesnt seem right to me. Maybe some kind of plasma thrower or lightning gun or something
AV- A huge laser that needs to charge like the forge gun but when fired heats up quickly. Does damage as long as the beam is on target. If held for too long it starts to do damage to the user. Does slightly increased damage when overheated but does more and more damage to the user the longer its fired. (To be safe though the damage done to the user would kill the player before it is able to destroy any tank in one shot. Maybe barely able to with a militia tank)
Gallente
AI- Giant shotgun. Fires automatically. Has fairly large spread with range similar to the effective range of the HMG. A direct hit at close range does extreme damage
AV- Dont know. Maybe a plasma mortar
Caldari
AI- A railgun that is similar to a 50 cal machine gun. Its an automatic machine gun that fires slugs at a rate slightly faster than the Breach assault rifle. has long range and fires fairly accurately but has a decent amount of recoil. Each round at impact explodes/ shatters causing a small amount of damage within a very small blast radius. This weapon would be great at taking out infantry at range as well as suppression. The gun still needs direct hits to do real damage. The blast damage is just to cause chaos when fired into crowds or when firing at longer range targets making it difficult for them to approach.
Variants could have modifications made to have them fire larger slugs causing more blast damage and more direct damage but at a cost of less accuracy, slower ROF and more recoil. Good for dealing with light vehicle and deterring dropships. Another version could fire smaller rounds with little to no blast damage for higher ROF and increased initial accuracy. Best for killing infantry.
AV- Forge Gun
My favorite ideas are the Caldari Auto rail and the Gallente Mega Shotgun.
What do my fellow heavies think about these ideas? What kind of weapons and gadgets would my fellow fat men want to see. What do you dream about?

Adding gadgets will only benefit the commando right now.

These are not gadgets!
These are the bread and butter of a heavy, the truly legit asswhoopers of DUST
I'm sure d legendary will be happy to hear of these ideas. |

CCP is doing something like this, as for the currently announced HW speculation suggests that the gallente will have a plasma thrower (essentially a flamethrower, makes sense with plasma and short range of gallente and someone from CCP announced a long while back, like back in Codex that they would have a flamethrower model at some time) As for the laser it will probably be something akin to a sentinel beam. Almost certainly a beam weapon (they already have two pulse weapons and beams are what lasers are about) and, to differentiate it from the laser rifle, probably more powerful, but less accurate and can only be hip fired (like the Forge Gun).
Earlier back there was concept art for a number of HMG variants that CCP was thinking about adding to the game eventually, and one of them was almost certainly a Caldari 50 Cal. There was also a Gallente short range plasma variant, and then an Amarr Variant that no one could tell what it did. |

Someone made a suggestion of a heavy flak cannon that can take out aerial vehicles. It will be perfect as a Minmatar AV weapon. |

Heavy weapon I would like to see: the flak cannon (CCP said they'll think about it) Mortar, Ark Cannon (read Templar one)
Weapons I don't want to EVER see in Dust: The giant MTAC in Templar One.
